There's some information on the wiki, including a walk-through of creating a USB image to test EFI booting: https://wiki.freebsd.org/UEFI

Speaking from only minimal experience, I _think_ you can do what you're asking by copying the loader to the correct path a la
 cp loader.efi /mnt/efi/boot/bootx64.efi

(assuming the EFI partition is on /mnt).
